Tips & Advice

What is a taxi medallion?

Used to identify an individual taxi, a taxi medallion is a series of letters and numbers that is unique to each cab. It is usually located on the hood, license plate, or roof of the taxi, and it may also be listed on your receipt. Getting this information is essential if you want to follow up with the taxi service about a driver's performance or if you leave something in the cab.

How many passengers can ride in a taxi?

The number of passengers that can ride in a sedan taxi is four or five, including the driver. Minivan and van taxis have more capacity. In many states, children are required to be in a car seat in a taxi, so check with the taxi company beforehand if traveling with a child.

Do taxi cabs accept credit cards?

Taxi cabs usually accept credit cards, and in larger cities like Boston, New York, and San Francisco, they are required by law to do so. Taxi drivers have to pay a small processing fee on credit-card fares, and in some cases, they may seek to avoid this fee by telling you they'll only accept a cash payment. In situations like this, take note of the driver's medallion number and file a report to the agency that regulates taxis in your city.

What are some tips for taking a taxi?

To take a taxi, start by either hailing the cab on the street or booking one online or via phone. It's a good idea to do some online research beforehand to get a sense of how much the fare should cost for your trip, as this may help you avoid being taken advantage of by a dishonest cab driver. Also: It's safest to enter and exit the cab on the same side as the sidewalk.

Is it customary to tip a taxi driver?

Yes, it is customary to tip a taxi driver. The tip amount usually ranges from 15-20 percent of the total fare. When deciding how much to tip, give some thought to the quality of service provided by the taxi driver. A good taxi driver is friendly and helpful, and knows the area well enough to get you to your destination without asking for directions.

How does taxi fare work?

Taxi fare is calculated using a meter, which looks at distance traveled and waiting time, and combines these things to generate a fare. Some meters are incredibly sophisticated, offering features such as Bluetooth support for smartphones and tablets, and seat sensors that detect the presence of a passenger.

I used this cab service for the first and last time early this morning. I requested a cab from the Marriott to the FLL airport. When I arrived the cab driver (#21042) said something I could not understand about the payment - he then said (I think): "the credit card crates problem for me." I thought this meant that it did not work, but he confirmed it did. He kept asking if I had cash, and I told him I was using my credit card. He then showed me slips of receipts and said "no money for me- I go to bed but no money." I was fed up at this point and told him again I was paying with a credit card, which he finally let me do. He KEPT the METER RUNNING during his speech. I paid and left, almost missing my ability to check my bag (literally by seconds).I called the company to complain and got their machine. I left my contact info and a description of what happened. I am yet to receive a response and not anticipating a call back, however.

12/12/2013 Am I surprised because on Tuesday of this week my wife and daughter and I got off a cruise ship to take a taxi to the airport. I left my jacket with my car keys and hat and gloves in the cab and didn't notice it missing until check-in at the airport. With help of local county sheriff deputy who called the dispatcher of the Friendly Checker Cab Co. who put my loss over the radio within a half hour down the road a half mile from the airport the taxi driver was waving my jacket out of his window so that anyone missing it would notice --I thought pretty smart on his part.--- the only thing we knew was that the driver was from Haiti not being real sure of the taxi company or being able to recognize the driver. He I am quite sure made a special trip back to the airport JUST to deliver it. My daughter had taken a cab back to the ship canal and was able to talk to several who really wanted to find out who ETC so give the company 6 STARS and the County Sheriff his wishes for Christmas. THANKS Friendly Checker CAB Company--besides the driver was the most courteous and a young family man interested in talking etc He apologized to both me and my wife for not checking if we left anything BUT was entirely my own fault and being in a hurry. My advice is to note the number and name of the cab and even the driver from now on--my daughter found out that people leave even laptops etc in cabs and other means of transportation. I plan on writing a letter of thanks and donating to the HELP's charities as a result. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all involved. Thanks AGAIN!! Duane Lorsung of Long Prairie, MN

I called for a taxi once and after that I get phone calls from drivers asking if i called for a cab which has been happening for a whole month! I called the taxi company 5 times to remove me from the list because I was getting phone calls in the middle of the night, and they were rude and didn't fix the problem. Horrible service, hang up on customers and don't do anything

Caught this cab with a few girlfriends after a great night out in Las Olas. We were a bit spiced so it took us a moment to decide whose house to go to so the cab driver stopped and was nice and patient. Helped us out the car when we got there, price was good for the distance it all worked out. !

absolutely horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!worst taxi service I've ever used. First off, you Cant call them, you can try. but the phone will just ring and ring and ring. as for the taxi ride. he will purposely slow down at a green light to try and catch the red light so the meter will just keep going up. they also cant speak english. so please if you read this just dont use this service. they are just terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

07/07/12, 11:35 PM: Cab didn't come after 30 minutes of calling. Called to ask whether the cab was still coming and got hung up on. Called again and got hung up on again. This happened three times. Asked to speak to the manager, and when I explained that my cab was delayed and that I got hung up on when I tried to resolve the issue over the phone. He told me my address wasn't in the system, and that he just got there. He was rude. He said that if I had been getting hung up on, &quot;Everyone here would be fired.&quot; When I asked to speak to his supervisor he said to call back on Monday. When I asked his name, he said &quot;Click&quot; and hung up. Awful interaction - I wouldn't recommend giving this company your business.
